2014 Summer Camp Website and Sign-up
WASHINGTON – Georgetown Field Hockey Head Coach Shannon Soares has announced the dates and opened registration for the 2014 S-Squared Sports All-Access Field Hockey Camp. The summer camp, headed by Soares, begins on Tues., July 29 and concludes on Fri., August 1.
"We are very excited to release information on our inaugural field hockey camp at Georgetown," said Soares. "We are looking forward to providing campers with a fun and positive experience on the Hilltop this summer."
Camp participants will have an all-access pass into stepping up their game. Participants will learn the latest technical and tactical components of the game in preparation for their upcoming school seasons. The camp is open to high school individuals and teams.
Camp will include instruction in the morning and afternoon followed by game play in the evening. The camp is designed to create a fun and competitive environment for players to develop their individual and team skills.
Camp staff will consist of NCAA Division I collegiate coaches with current Division I student-athletes serving as camp counselors.
Overnight campers will be housed on campus and the training sessions will take place at Multi-Sport Field, located in the middle of Georgetown University.
Soares, who will begin her first season as the head coach of the Georgetown field hockey program, will head the camp. Prior to Georgetown, Soares spent one year as the head coach at VCU and an additional five years as an assistant at the school. As head coach, she led the Rams to a 13-5 record after the team finished 5-13 just one year before.
Interested campers can register online at www.ssquaredsports.com. The registration period will close on Fri., July 11. For more information, please visit www.ssquaredsports.com, follow @S_SquaredSports and like the Facebook page.

NYC construction worker-turned-designer Matt Bernson describes the aesthetic of his women's footwear line as "downtown meets the beach," and we think the shoe fits. Designed in TriBeCa and handmade by traditional artisans, Bernson's boots and shoes feature bright colors, ample hardware, and metallic leathers ideal for idylls urban or exotic. From sky-high T-strap wedge sandals and ankle booties to low-heel tundra boots and gladiator flats, each pair of Bernson's shoes is constructed from eco-friendly materials and features luxuriously padded insoles. And when it comes to elasticized ballet flats, his Waverly cap-toe sets the bar high with a patent-pending padded moleskin system that preserves the integrity of the stretchy heel. In addition to his own line, Bernson has designed camouflage canvas shoes for Edun, the socially conscious clothing label founded by U2 singer Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson.
Light toffee to deep espresso hues add a luxe touch to summer sandals, flats, and wedges
Sigerson Morrison's trend-infused little sister line delivers must-have shoes with right-now details. Punch up your favorite sweater dresses with slouchy suede riding boots, pointed wedge pumps, and snake-embossed booties. Or make your warm-weather escape with a mix of laser-cut ballet flats and metallic thong sandals to pair with breezy maxis at the beach.
Turn up the chic on and off the sand with seaside must-haves, from swimsuits to wedges
Go classically chic with the hot summer neutral on dresses, handbags, sandals, and more

High School Sports
Lady X is first of three quality summer basketball events
Thumbs up for the inaugural Lady X (Extravaganza) girls basketball tournament.
Valley high school sports promoter Marc Beasley had produced boys basketball tournaments before, many in the southeast Valley, but this was his first attempt at girls competition.
The tournament was well-attended and the fans and players were enthusiastic.
The coaches probably would agree that it offered a good opportunity to assess their players' strengths and weaknesses and how to approach workouts leading up to the start of the 2014-15 season. You have to figure that top-notch coaches like Goodyear Millennium's Cory Rojeck, Mesa Dobson's Tyler Dumas, Chandler Hamilton's Jeff Kain, Gilbert Highland's Miner Webster, Chandler Seton Catholic's Karen Self, Gilbert Mesquite's Candice Gonzales, Phoenix Mountain Pointe's Trevor Neider and Chandler Valley Christian's Scott Timmer made a lot of mental notes.
The Lady X featured many of the anticipated top teams for the coming season.
Tempe High served as a good central location for most of the teams. The next one in June of 2015 should be even better. Nice job by Beasley and his crew.
And don't forget – Tempe High will be full again next weekend with the 4th Annual PrimeTime tournament for boys featuring defending Division I champion Tempe Corona del Sol, defending Division II champion Phoenix Shadow Mountain, Phoenix Pinnacle, Gilbert, Scottsdale Chaparral, Tempe, Phoenix Desert Vista and Phoenix Sunnyslope.
From June 26-28, the 7th annual Best in Basketball Summer Tournament (BIBSI) for boys will be held at Tempe High, featuring 24 teams.

CEPEDA: Mystery of the missing
On April 15, Melissa Ann Best went missing — "vanished into thin air," her husband said.
CEPEDA: First the dream, then gridlock
There is beauty in watching a group come together to realize a dream — even one you don't believe in.
CEPEDA: Celebrate this nip and tuck
The May issue of Harper's Bazaar treats readers to never-before-seen pictures of outrageous pop singer Lady Gaga's new cone-shaped protrusions. They're now jutting out of her forehead, shoulders and cheek bones, but she swears her new look isn't the result of plastic surgery.
CEPEDA: The parental factor
The student arrived late to the honor roll ceremony at my son's middle school last week. Even though it was almost over, the teaching staff graciously presented him with his certificate for high honors. The tall, shy African-American walked across the gym floor to polite applause and a visible lack of camera flash. No parent was there to congratulate him.
CEPEDA: No call to action
After a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Justice Department in keeping parts of Arizona's controversial immigration law from going into effect, some interpreted the ruling as a victory against states that would create what one advocacy group called a "racial reign of terror in which police racial profiling is mandated." Others simply dismissed the decision as typical of a liberal court.
CEPEDA: FDA's calorie-count rule a good start
In proposing new rules to better inform consumers of how many calories they eat, the Food and Drug Administration got it partly right.
CEPEDA: Dark skin won't protect you from sun's deadly rays
Did you know that Latinos, blacks and other dark-skinned people are as susceptible to skin cancer as those who are light-skinned — and even likelier to die from it? If you did, then you're smarter than I am, because I learned the hard way.
CEPEDA: Latinos have challenge to take up bigger roles in US
When the U.S. Census Bureau released its population estimates from the nation's 2010 headcount, Hispanics across the country rejoiced in the power of their numbers.
CEPEDA: Jumping to conclusions
On March 11, Emily Ruiz, a U.S. citizen, was traveling back to New York from Guatemala with her grandfather when U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents detained them because of a two-decade-old infraction on the grandfather's temporary work visa. They told him he would be deported.
CEPEDA: Educated, but for what?
Vice President Joe Biden asked America's governors last week to increase the number of college graduates in their states by 50 percent in order to create at least 8 million additional graduates by the end of the decade.
CEPEDA: Nothing stirs melting pot like 'English only'
Today's quintessential American melting-pot story comes to you courtesy of Greg Simons, the proprietor of the Reedy Creek Family Diner in Lexington, N.C., who put a sign on the front door that read "No Speak English. No Service" along with translations in French, Gaelic, Russian, German and Spanish.
CEPEDA: America's racial wounds
One thing I've learned about the catastrophe in Japan is that not only are the Japanese in for a long period of economic and emotional recovery, but some emotional healing needs to occur in the U.S. as well.
CEPEDA: In teaching, why not be the best?
Let's imagine this country really believed that to thrive in the 21st century, we have to be able to compete in a global economy. And to do so, we need creative, well-educated workers who, presumably, got into the best colleges and then vied for the best jobs in organizations that closely measure outcomes or profits.
CEPEDA: State measures aren't the solution for immigration
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Daily Post will be running opinion pieces by Esther Cepeda to fill the column space left by the death of David Broder. Let us know what you think of her viewpoints by filling out our online letter form.

? 211 Call Center
The 211 Call Center is no longer taking applications for its annual holiday help program.
There already are more than 325 names on the list of people not served by 211 last year and not being served by any other list in the community, according to Audrey Foster, 211 Call Center manager.
Now, 211 is in need of donors to "adopt" area teens and buy them gifts for Christmas, Foster said.
Residents can either adopt a particular teen to shop for, or they can donate money for someone else to shop.
For more information or to donate, call 2-1-1 or 740-454-2255.
Checks can be mailed to the United Way of MPM, 526 Putnam Ave., Zanesville, or dropped off at the office.
? Catholic Social Services
Catholic Social Services is partnering with the Muskingum County Center for Seniors to deliver Baskets of Love to homebound senior citizens.
Baskets of Love are laundry baskets or reusable shopping bags filled with items such as shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, paper towels and similar items. To participate, drop off a filled basket at either the the senior center, 200 Sunrise Center Drive, or CSS, 45 N. Fourth St., by Dec. 16. In 2012, the groups delivered 219 baskets, with the goal this year to either match or beat that number.
? Avondale Youth Center
The Avondale Youth Center is kicking off its annual Christmas Fund, which raises money to buy gifts for children living in the home. The fund also supports special activities such as birthdays or school proms year-round.
To donate, send checks to the Times Recorder, C/O the Avondale Christmas Fund, 34 S. Fourth St., Zanesville.
Donations will be accepted year-round, but the main push for the fund ends at Christmas.
? Christ's Table
Christ's Table needs hams, yams, dinner rolls, green beans, potatoes and pies for its annual Christmas Day dinner.
The hot food program also is in need of cookie plates and candy trays for the holiday season.
People who plan to donate should call Christ's Table at 740-452-9766 by Dec.16 so meal organizers know what supplies will be available.
? Children Services
Muskingum County Children Services is collecting donations for its Adopt-A-Child program, which provides Christmas gifts for children who are in foster care or in child protective services. Donors can buy gifts for a specific child or donate toys or money to the program.
How much to spend on each child is up the individual donor, but children services hopes to spend about $75 per child.
Any donations not used for Christmas gifts will be used throughout the year for gifts and special projects.
For more information or to get involved, call children services at 740-455-6710.
? Kiwanis Club
The Zanesville Kiwanis Club is collecting donations for its annual Christmas party, where members buy presents for 60 children from area schools.
The children are selected by the school districts. This year's party is Dec. 11.
Kiwanis will spend $60 on each child, and any donations to help defray that cost would be appreciated.
Checks can be mailed to the Kiwanis Club, P.O. Box 745, Zanesville, OH 43701.
? Muskingum County Hunger Network
The Muskingum County Hunger Network is in need of extra donations during the holiday season for its group of 21 food pantries and hot meal programs.
The pantries need the normal donations, but any nonperishable canned or boxed Thanksgiving-food donations would be appreciated.
To find the pantry nearest you, call 211.
? Salvation Army
The Salvation Army's Angel Tree collection provides Christmas gifts for children as old as age 12 who might not get them otherwise.
People choose an Angel Tree name from a local business or organization, and then they buy gifts for that child from a wish list.
In 2012, there were 1,200 names on the Angel Tree. The Salvation Army needs volunteers to help with the distribution day, Dec.19, and people to pick up the names and toy donations for children whose Angel Tree names do not get selected.
The Salvation Army needs donations - canned vegetables and fruits, soups, stuffing mix, Jell-O boxes, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter and cake mix - for its Christmas food basket giveaway.
Donations can be dropped off at the Salvation Army office, 515 Putnam Ave. For more information, call 740-452-8350.
? Toys for Tots
Toys for Tots needs unwrapped toys for children 18 and younger. The toys - or gift cards to buy toys - can be dropped off at any fire station in Muskingum County up until Dec. 15. Toys for Tots also is hosting a toy drive from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at the fire department on Leonard Avenue.
If your group has a holiday help program and is not included in this list, email trnews@zanesville timesrecorder. com or call 740-450-6750.

This is great news! Google buys Motorola Mobility, the mobile division of Motorola for an estimated $ 12.5 billion.
Motorola was one of the first mobile phone manufacturers to use Android on their mobile phones and had some success in the U.S. market.

We will run Motorola as a separate business. Many hardware partners have contributed to Android's success and we look forward to continuing to work with all of them to deliver outstanding user experiences.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Question from jwilde88
Why can't I pay my bounty?
Ok every town hates me. I've tried waitin outside a town for a week n then reentering to talk to the gaurds n turn myself in but it never even gives me a chance to talk everyone just attacks. Idk what I did to do this. I'm a vampire if that helps anybody. Please help me cuz I can't continue the story until I fix this...
4 years ago
Just ran into my first bounty collector so I think I must have a bounty but it wouldn't even let me talk to him.
4 years ago
If you are a level 3 or 4 Vampire the entire city, citizens included, will attack you on sight. Otherwise try pulling out your weapon in front of a guard and then sheathing it again to engage dialogue.
4 years ago
The problem probably isn't a bounty. Townspeople attack on sight vampires in stage 4. It's possible to revert vampirism back to stage 1 (cant remember if this is done by sleeping or feeding, it's in the guides), or you can cure vampirism completely, check the guides.

I must apologize for not remembering on whose blog I first learned about Through the Woods by Emily Carroll because I owe that blogger a big thank you. Through the Woods is a short story collection like no other I have ever read. Why might that be? It is a book of graphic short stories.
When I got it from the library I didn't remember about the graphic part of it and I worried that perhaps I had made a mistake. How can you do a book of graphic short stories? Novel, memoir, biography, but short stories? But you know what? It totally works and it is great!
The stories are of the very short and ambiguous kind and they are successful because the art and the text work so well together to move the story along. They have a fairy tale quality to them and they all felt vaguely familiar because of that but they are completely original. They all feature girls or young women. They are about things like a cold snowy winter and dad has to leave his three daughters alone. He tells them if he isn't back in three days they are to go to the neighbor's house. Of course he doesn't return. The eldest daughter refuses to leave, insisting that dad will be back any time. The youngest doesn't really seem concerned about anything in particular. And the middle daughter, the one telling the story, insists they follow their father's wishes because if they don't they will be completely snowed in and without food. And then during the night someone comes to the door and the eldest sister goes with that someone and doesn't come back. The night after that, the youngest sister goes with the stranger. The middle sister is left all alone. The food is gone. She walks most of the day through the deep snow to the neighbor's house and…
Another tale is about a father marrying off his beautiful daughter to the richest man in the county. The house is huge and gorgeous but something is not right. Someone keeps her up at night singing a strange song. Her husband tells her she's hearing things that aren't there. One night while her husband is away, she goes looking for the source of the song and discovers more than she bargained for.
The art in this book is amazing. Stark, deeply saturated color in a limited palette of black, white, scarlet red and deep blue, creates high contrast and a rich lushness that magnifies the creep factor of the stories. I raced through them all in less than an hour one evening before bed. The final story gave me such chills that I told Bookman if I have any nightmares Through the Woods is at fault.
A perfect RIP Challenge read for sure, but guaranteed excellent for any dark night or stormy afternoon no matter what time of year.

When some one says to you "that's just a fairy tale," it generally means that what you have just said is untrue or unreal. It is a polite but deprecating way of saying that your words form a lie or gossip. Your story is make-believe and unreliable. It has nothing to do with reality and experience. Fairy tale is thus turned into some kind of trivial story.

They can't transform your actual situation, but they can transform your experience of it. We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to be able to stay.
So wise. This is from the cartoonist Lynda Barry's memoir/exploration of images What It Is (Drawn & Quarterly, 2008). I so enjoyed the whole book, especially the part about the "transformational capabilities" of old stories. Barry's ideas reinforced my tentative plan to read the second graders a whole lot of fairy tales and folk tales this year.Add a Comment

There is something so frustrating about a story that is so close to being satisfactory but doesn't quite make it. Mechanica is a perfectly serviceable retelling, I imagine, but doesn't have the emotional substance to make an impact. When I read a book I want to be swept away to another world, brought far from my own experiences, and caught up in the emotions of the characters. I don't want "serviceable." Now, I haven't read Cinder, but from what I could tell this really isn't very similar. Whereas Cinder is a futuristic dystopian-ish (I think?), Mechanica has much more of a traditional fairy tale feel. Think: 18th century but with magic, fae, and some adorable steampunk creatures. Also, that book has a significant focus on the romance aspect of the story. This one…doesn't (but more on that later). I actually really enjoyed the first 20% or so of the book... Read more »

First sentence: Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there lived a king and queen. The king and queen had no children of their own, but they had a beautiful garden, full of all kinds of flowers. It was their pride and joy, and each blossom was tended with the greatest love and care.
Premise/plots: A childless royal couple is overjoyed when their greatest dream comes true: at last a child to call their own, a princess. But this princess is under a spell. She is tiny now, but, she'll keep growing and growing and growing until the spell is broken. And the king and queen are warned that they NEED to break the spell for the good of them all--the whole kingdom. Can they break the spell in time?
The Big Princess was originally published in Japan in 2013.
My thoughts: I liked this one. I've read it three times now, and, I've reacted a bit differently each time. But overall, I think I do like it. It reads like a traditional fairy tale. It may not have all the expected elements--the presence of fairies, for example--but if you enjoy a good fairy tale, this original story may satisfy. Still, I have to warn you that this one is a bit odd.

We recently received two issues of Storytime Magazine (Luma Works), a monthly British children's magazine which launched in September 2014 with the tagline "Classic tales to read, love and share." Each issue is filled with retellings of fairy tales and folktales, plus distillations of classic children's novels (such as E. Nesbit's "Five Children and It" in Issue 4 and Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" in Issue 5). The stories are accompanied by colorful, often full-page illustrations as well as interactive moments inviting the reader to color a rainbow, count beans, find a specific flower, etc. Even more thematic activities and downloads are available at Storytime's website.
The contents are organized by headings such as "Favourite Fairy Tales," "Famous Fables," "Storyteller's Corner," "Around the World Tales," "Myths and Legends," "Poems and Rhymes," "Brilliant Books," "Storytime Playbox," and "Story Magic." These categories seem to shift slightly from issue to issue, but each edition follows the same basic format, containing about six stories, a poem, and thematic activities and games.
Storytime's retold short tales originate in a range of diverse cultures: Issue 4 features a Mayan quest story, an African tale about trickster Anansi, and a Cornish mermaid tale; Issue 5 includes an Aboriginal creation story, plus Greek mythology and an Aesop animal parable. The magazine format (complete with exciting cover blurbs: "Famous Fables! Four animals learn about friendship" and "Jungle Adventure! See how Mowgli escapes from Shere Khan") gives the tales a fresh perspective, and the absence of advertisements keeps the focus on the stories themselves.
Overall, each issue feels like substantial reading material — either to be devoured straight through all at once, or savored slowly, story by story.

This is a decades-old reading textbook featuring folk tales! It includes these stories:
- The Gingerbread Boy
- The Three Bears
- Billy Goats Gruff
- Mr. Vinegar
- The Straw Ox
- Little Red Riding Hood
- The Boy Who Went to the North Wind
- The Rabbit
- Mice
- In The Fashion
- Chipmunk
- Mother Goose Rhymes
- Indian Children
- The Woodpecker
- The Animal Store
- A Visit From St. Nicholas
"Mr. Vinegar" was a strange story of a foolish man. The ending made no sense either! But despite its strangeness, there were some elements I found myself liking.
Overall, I liked the stories much better than the poetry. My favorite story was probably "The Boy Who Went to the North Wind."

I loved reading this collection of newly discovered fairy tales. Franz Xaver Von Schronwerth was a contemporary of the Grimm brothers. His fairy tales were collected in the 1850s in Bavaria. His manuscripts were recently rediscovered--or discovered--and translated into English.
The book is divided into six sections: "Tales of Magic and Romance," "Enchanted Animals," "Otherworldly Creatures," "Legends," "Tall Tales and Anecdotes," and "Tales About Nature." Some sections have more stories than others.
Most of the stories tend to be short. How short is short? Well, the shortest in the collection are just one page. (Plenty are three pages or so.)
Commentary is provided for each story at the back of the book. The commentary provides context for the story, often describing the type of story it is, and what other stories it's like.
I found the book to be a quick read and a delightful one. I enjoyed reading all the stories. It was a fun way to spend the weekend.
Is it for children? No. Probably more for adults. But I think that's a good thing. Adults need treats too.
The Turnip Princess
One day a prince lost his ways in the woods. He found shelter in a cave and slept there for the night. When he woke up, an old woman was hovering over him. She had a bear by her side and treated it like a pet dog. The old woman was very kind to the prince. She wanted him to live with her and become her husband. The prince did not like her at all, but he was unable to leave. (3)The Talking Bird, The Singing Tree, and The Sparkling Stream
A nobleman had three daughters, each more beautiful than the next. One day the girls were sitting in the royal gardens, chattering away about their wishes and dreams. The eldest wanted to marry the king's counselor, the second hoped to marry his chamberlain, and the third declared that she would be quite satisfied with the king himself. It happened that the king was also in the gardens, and he overheard the entire conversation. He summoned the three sisters to ask them what they had been talking about in the garden. The first two confessed everything; the youngest was less eager to do so. But then all at once the king declared: "Your three wishes will be granted." (71)The Three Spindles
A young farmer's daughter got herself in trouble, and her parents threw her out of the house. She wandered around aimlessly until finally, in desperation, she sat down on a tree stump with three crosses carved into it. She began to weep. Suddenly a wood sprite raced toward her, pursued by a group of frenzied hunters. The girl jumped to her feet to make room for the sprite, for she knew that it would find safety there from what where known as the devil's hunters, hordes of demons that rode in with the winter storms. (107)The Mouse Catcher, or, The Boy and the Beetle
Once there was a village so badly infested with mice that no one knew what to do. A stranger arrived in town and told the farmers that he would be able to get rid of the mice. They promised him a generous reward in return. The stranger pulled out a little whistle and blew into it. All the mice in the village ran after the man, who took them to a big pond, where they all drowned. The stranger returned to the village and asked for his reward. But the farmers refused to give him the full amount. The man blew into another little whistle, and this time all the children in the village came running after him. (175)The Talker
There once lived a couple, and they were both stupid is as stupid does. The wife ruled the roost, and one day she sent her husband to the marketplace to sell their cow. "Whatever you do, don't sell it to talker," she shouted as he was going out the door. "Did you hear me? Don't sell it to talker." Her husband promised to do just as she had said. (187)Sir Wind and His Wife
The wind and his wife were both present at the creation of the world. The two were overweight, and on top of that, Sir Wind had a long beard that wrapped around his body three times. Still, both were able to pass easily through a mere crack in a wall, or any opening at all, for that matter. (205)© 2015 Becky Laney of Becky's Book Reviews

When I was a child, I would play in the attic of our farmhouse, with an oversized bridesmaid dress worn over my clothes. The dress was icy-blue taffeta, with covered buttons down the back. Dragging behind me, the dress rustled as it slid on the uneven wood floor. I would glide to the single attic window, overlooking my, er…ah…kingdom… I was a princess, a ruler, an adventurer; I was fearless. Little did I know, that I was practicing for my future career as a school librarian, teaching information literacy and other library skills, with a penchant for Fairy Tales.
In a few short months, I will begin my second position as an international librarian. My first stint abroad was to the Middle East. This second venture into international librarianship is to Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I will be my school's first fulltime professional librarian, grades K-12. While researching my potential new home in Thailand before accepting this position, I came across photos of the Thai "Yi Peng" Festival, where sky lanterns are released. These photos reminded me of Disney's Tangled, a spin on the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale, Rapunzel. In Tangled, there is a scene with sky lanterns, and I remember wondering about them when I watched the movie. Soon, I will be living a part of that Fairy Tale scene.
I started using Fairy Tales to begin library lessons each school year about 6 years ago. As a native English speaker, I found that teaching in schools where English is not a first language for students, but frequently is the first language for the school, can pose some challenges. Genres are included in my library lessons, and I just decided to start with fairy tales, mostly because I love them so much, and most libraries have them. I found that Fairy Tales are far more universal than I ever thought, and starting the year out talking about and extrapolating on these Tales have been wonderful ice-breakers, both abroad and in the United States. I have been happily surprised at how older students warm up to the genre, sharing their opinions and ideas on a range of Fairy Tales and their favorite characters. As the Tales are often universal in theme in some way, most children know the basics of them, so despite language barriers, they can be easily shared and discussed. Through this process I am constantly reminded of something very valuable; Fairy Tales connect people, and as my work life is often like living in one, I can say that Fairy Tales are alive and well!

In the deepest winter forest an arrow is shot in desperation. The quarrel finds its target, but the consequences are far reaching and unexpected. Feyre, youngest daughter of an impoverished nobleman, has unintentionally killed one of the Fae and broken the treaty between humans and Fae. Now she must trade her life for that of her slain foe. Caught between death or handing herself over to live in the lands of the Fae, never to return to her family, Feyre surrenders. This is a totally new fantasy world, completely separate from that of Throne of Glass. Feyre lives on an island resembling Great Britain that is divided among human ruled lands and the realms of the Fae (many blessings upon Bloomsbury for including a map for those of us "constant flippers"). The humans live in constant fear of the Fae, and the Fae live in constant fear of the ever... Read more »

Over the years, I've found myself disappointed by many YA fairy tale retellings. I'm always drawn to them, and yet most of them don't provide the satisfaction I'm looking for. Rosamund Hodge's gorgeous books, however, are the few exceptions–both of them take inspiration from fairy tales, but have their own unique twist on the stories we're so familiar with. I find myself utterly captivated when I'm immersed in these books, swept away by the romance, the lush prose, and the interplay of darkness and lightness in the unforgettable characters. In Cruel Beauty, the author reimagined the stories of Beauty and the Beast, Bluebeard, and Cupid and Psyche. In her latest book Crimson Bound, she draws her influence from two other very different fairy tales. As part of the blog tour we're hosting for the book, Rosamund is with us today to tell us more about her dark, dark influences. They... Read more »

Imagine a plant that grew into a plum pudding, a cricket bat, or even a pair of trousers. Rather than being a magical transformation straight out of Cinderella, these 'wonderful plants' were instead to be found in Victorian Britain. Just one of the Fairy-Tales of Science introduced by chemist and journalist John Cargill Brough in his 'book for youth' of 1859, these real-world connections and metamorphoses that traced the origins of everyday objects were arguably even more impressive than the fabled conversion of pumpkin to carriage (and back again).

What are the strange undercurrents to fairy tales like 'Hansel and Gretel' or 'Little Red Riding Hood'? In November 2014, we launched a #fairytalesexplainedbadly hashtag campaign that tied in to the release of Marina Warner's Once Upon a Time: A Short History of the Fairy Tale. Hundreds of people engaged with the #fairytalesexplainedbadly hashtag on Twitter, sparking a fun conversation on the different ways in which fairy tale stories could be perceived.

I've been short on time and unable to concentrate on reading lately, so I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks. They're so wonderful when you're driving or cooking or doing something else with your hands! I'm weirdly picky when it comes to narrators–I literally reject about 90% of the ones I sample–but it's always a joy when I come across a reader whose voice and style I like. Today I'm reviewing two audiobooks I listened to recently, both of which are middle grade books featuring main characters with unusual names. Nest by Esther Ehrlich For fans of Jennifer Holm (Penny from Heaven, Turtle in Paradise), a heartfelt and unforgettable middle-grade novel about an irresistible girl and her family, tragic change, and the healing power of love and friendship.

This story may or may not be a fairy tale, though there are certainly fairies in it. However, unlike any of his Victorian forebears or most of his contemporaries, Machen manages to achieve, only a few years before the comfortably kitsch flower fairies of Cicely Mary Barker, the singular feat of rendering fairies terrifying. With James Hogg's 'Confessions of a Justified Sinner', Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Thrawn Janet' and several of M. R. James's marvellous ghost stories, 'The White People' is one of only a handful of literary texts that have genuinely unnerved me.

We saw the new Cinderella last night and you should see it too. What I loved most was that it was genuinely a children's movie. While Cate Blanchette as the stepmother and Helena Bonham-Carter as the fairy godmother were on hand to provide some camp (and there was a PG-pushing plethora of men in tights), neither they nor the movie ever winked over the head of the intended audience. Cinderella herself was given just enough spirit (or "agency," as our reviewers keep trying to say) to rescue her from stereotype without tipping into anachronism, and plot complications to the tale's essentials were mercifully few. Rightfully, the high point of the movie was The Dress, first as HBC enchants it around Ella and then again when it whirls about the dance floor at the ball. Look for it on October trick-or-treaters–and maybe some June brides?
P.S. Stick around for the credits to hear Lily James (Cinderella) and HBC sing two of the classics from the original Disney film.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
Listening Post | 22 Mar 2014 11:08 GMT | Politics, Myanmar, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia
By annexing the Crimea, Russia has redrawn the map of Europe.
The East versus West media narrative that was already hard to reconcile became further separated by a seemingly unbridgeable divide, reminiscent of the Cold War. Nevertheless, when President Vladimir Putin addressed Russia's Duma this week, the whole world stopped to listen.
According to Putin, and the Kremlin propaganda machine, Russia's forces are protecting the Crimea from a new Ukrainian government with dangerous fascist leanings. For the Western media, nothing can justify a unilateral act against a sovereign nation. For Russia, Western criticisms resound with the hollow ring of hypocrisy.
Some journalists themselves have taken uncompromising positions. An American reporter for Russia Today resigned live on air in protest at the channel's coverage.
On the other side of the news divide, a Putin-loyal TV personality, who wields real power in the state media, ramped up the rhetoric to a war-footing. Concerns about the power of the media to exacerbate tensions even led to calls in Ukraine to take pro-Russian outlets off the airwaves completely.
Helping us explore the media angles this week are: Kristina Jovanovski, a Kiev-based freelance journalist; Peter Lavelle, the host of Russia Today's CrossTalk; Simon Ostrovsky, from VICE Media; and John Dalhuisen, the Europe and Central Asia programme director at Amnesty International.
In other media news: journalists linked with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt face the courts, while four Al Jazeera staff remain behind bars; there are troubles in the Gulf with Saudi Arabia demanding that Qatar shut down Al Jazeera completely; and Myanmar's long-debated media laws come into effect while five journalists face trial for revealing state secrets.
For our feature this week, the Listening Post's Will Yong returns to the intersection of technology and the media, investigating the best and the worst of the online comments section. With more and more online interaction migrating to Facebook and Twitter, what can media organisations do to control the trolls and cultivate a better conversation?
Lastly, our web video of the week takes us back to Turkey in 2013 when protests over the proposed development of a park in Istanbul escalated into a challenge against the government. But if you had been watching Turkish television, you might not have noticed. Ayce Kartal's 'Tornistan' contrasts the rumble in the streets with the silence of the Turkish media.

Its hard to believe, but Halloween is now less than two weeks away. The new Halloween movies have started to come out in the theaters, but most will agree that if you really want a good scare it is better to pop in a classic horror flick at home. When it comes to scary movies, opinions are like ax holes: Nearly everybody's got one. What's your favorite?
I enjoy scary movies. Especially good ones. There are few things better than a well-made horror movie in the middle of the night on Halloween, in my opinion. But I've come across a lot of really bad horror movies over the years, and it really ruins the whole movie-going experience for me. That's why, this Halloween, I'll be picking my movies carefully.
I always get criticized for breaking out the Christmas movies and albums too early. This year, I've actually managed to hold off about two weeks longer than I usually do. But the holiday bug is starting to bite, and I can't wait to get into the Christmas spirit any longer!

We're really getting into the Halloween spirit here at TheFW. It's nothing new -- it's always been one of our favorite holidays (right after Arbor Day). So, while we enjoying settling down with a good (bad) scary movie, sometimes we wax a little nostalgic. These are the songs from our childhood that really get us in the mood for trick or treating, which we're apparently too "old" to do anymore, unless our plan to dress up like a scary six-year-old finally works. Check them out, and let us know if we missed one of your favorites.
Male strippers, heartwarming family fare, talking teddy bears and men in drag. No, that's not the set-up for a joke — those are what you'll see in the four new movies that hit theaters this weekend.
Don't you love when you go to watch a movie you remembered loving from your childhood and when you turn it on you think, "OMG, that's so-and-so, I don't remember them being in this movie!"
Something like that just happened to me today. I was perusing George Lopez's resume and guess what the first movie he is credited as an actor in was?
Whether you're in the mood for the colorful stylings of Dr. Seuss or some good old-fashioned frat boy humor, the two movies being released this weekend should give you something to look forward to.
Liam Neeson's movie about being hunted by a pack of rogue wolves, 'The Grey,' was apparently red meat to movie-goers. It brought in $20 million in its debut to take the top spot at the box office this weekend.
Now that the holidays are officially dead and buried, studios are back to releasing new films at a brisk pace — and this weekend, you'll have your choice of four.
